Hey guys, ive gotten in touch with matt of ecotrons.com, and he said that "another group buy is welcome" the new one will include the new throttlebody, and all of the new additions to the kit. i am still talking to him about the numbers,

Anyone had any issues running this kit and the KOSO gauges? Since this kit takes over the ignition timing will any KOSO wiring need to be changed for everything to function. Tach pick up for example.

No wiring on the bike is modified during installation of the Ecotrons kit. So, I don't see any reason why it would have any difficulties. I do not have KOSO gauges and don't believe any of the previous group buy does either.

they will both work at the same time, i'm getting the rx2 gauge and this kit, and then im going to turbo my bike.

That doesn't really answer my question either. I already have a KOSO and I'm trying to understand what issues I may run into with an EFI kit. I also have a remote start alarm and I'm also curious if there would be any concerns there.

BTW... forget the turbo. Our engines, transmissions, clutches, etc. are not engineered to handle that kind of HP. Not stock any way...

alright, well so far as the turbo, i have it all figured out i have forged pistons and everything i need so im goot there, and so far as your question, i don't see any reason why the gauges would interfere with anything, because it doesnt change the bikes wiring, the harness plugs into a plug under the driver seat, and the alarm may or may not interfere, depending on how it wires up. i will ask matt and get back to you as soon as i can

Guys, the rules aren't arbitrary, and aren't random. Marketplace area is for people & companies selling things. The only type of posts that are generally permitted in sales threads are questions from people who are interested in purchasing what is being sold. There is no restriction on tech or non-tech questions, as long as they are related to a potential purchase.

If the discussion runs off a tangent to having nothing to do with the purchase/sale in the original post, it shouldn't be here, and should in fact be done in a separate thread in the tech section or elsewhere on this site.

You have 1 wire to run straight to the battery (for gauge settings memory I believe), 1 wire to run to the coolant temp sensor (KOSO provided but replaces the stock sensor), 1 wire to run to your choice of an oil temp reading location (secondary drain plug in my case), and 1 wire to run for the speed sensor (located on the front wheel) and then the gauge plugs straight into the stock harness behind the dash. It gets everything else it needs from there.

Doesn't the KOSO get the tach signal from the stock ECU? If the EFI kit has it's own ECU and controls the timing, wouldn't the KOSO have to get it from there after the EFI kit has been installed?

Is my thinking wrong here?

the kit plugs into the connectors that the stock ecu used. If the koso needs spliced into the same wire that the oem tach gets its signal from, then the koso should, in theory, still work when using the efi kit, because it will just be plugged into the kit ecu rather than the oem cdi. Are we thinking the same thing here or am i just theorizing wildly?Posted via Mobile Device

So is the EFI ECU a replacement for stock or an addition to stock?

I'm actually running the BRT and it was my understanding that the BRT would be illuminated by the EFI ECU. Is this correct?

yep i think its shipped prices. And i have been using my kit since the first group buy and still loving it and i have the oldest or one of the oldest using the kit so thats saying something too. Guys jump on while its cheaper in the group buy
